gym bros

Fitness center buddies

Gym bros are men who make weight training and fitness culture a central part of their identity and social life.

The term usually implies a specific subculture: guys who lift together, share workout tips, discuss protein intake, and bond over gains.

While sometimes used neutrally or affectionately, gym bro can carry connotations of excessive machismo, shallow priorities, or performative masculinity.

The gym bros were hogging the squat rack again.
